As of now, Etheric Light is the most useless drop in the game. It has no purpose and does nothing for you; you can't even turn it in to the Speaker for Glimmer or Motes. But, what if it had a new purpose? I was thinking a while back about how nice some of the Rare armor sets in the game look, and how much it sucks that I can't wear them without handicapping myself. And then I thought about Etheric Light; purposeless and useless Etheric Light. But then it hit me; what if that oh so useless Material could be used to upgrade a Rare armor piece/weapon into a Legendary weapon? It would give Etheric Light a purpose and double if not triple Armor Customization. And just for balancing reasons, Etheric Light would only change gear from Rare to Legendary; and not affect Dmg/Dfns values. Upon upgrading the gear to Legendary, its Dmg/Dfns value would stay the same: so that 287 Rare helmet stays 287 upon upgrade, but now you can actually Infuse it to a higher value.
Come on, you ALL know you want to wear a Legendary Seraph I armor set.
-
Definite bump. Seraph set is easily the nicest armor set in the game and I want a legendary one so bad ;-;
-
I wonder who would het shingen e and bring it up... Wait, what about perks?

-
How about just letting me use my old legendaries?
-
Only if it'll let me bring my Clock of Perception into a Year 2 Legendary.
-
Etheric light for 500 faction rep would be nice
-
I want this! Bump
-
Agreed. Sounds like a good mechanic to me!
-
I'd be happy to trade for vanguard rep. Maybe 200 per etheric light.
-
Huh. Not bad
-
Just let us convert it into Motes!
-
What if you could trade them with variks for 200 weapon/armor parts?
-
Bump , liked and signed
-
rare gear looks WAY WAY better than the extic or legendary gear... PRO!. and have one perk in addition that you can add and choose.
-
I'm feeling it. If you see a year 2 piece of gear that you like, it should be able to turn into a legendary. They don't even need to change the name.

Edited by nzkt: 11/1/2015 4:39:47 PMThis is a great idea, as I love many of the rare sets. It isn't realistic though, they should just make it turn into a lot of motes or glimmer at the speaker
-
Yes or something like this
-
Good idea!
-
-
Is there a way to make year one legendaries into year twos? If not then I'd say that etheric light to make year ones year twos that have already been upgraded. (You would need to use two etheric lights on a legendary that you haven't used etheric light on already. Otherwise it would take one etheric light).
-
Great idea! But just remember right before ttk came out, bungie did announce that they are just trying to promote the year 2 weapons for awhile.. Some year 1 gear and weapons will be available to upgrade in future... So bungie says anyways
-
Legendary Nifty Biscuit, can I have it?
-
Edited by Nemo612: 11/1/2015 6:11:21 PMNice idea! Could also use etheric light to infuse a weapon or armor piece +5 without a higher level piece (not have to have use a higher level light weapon/armor).

So much yes
